- Move: accurate passing requires our hips to face the target and follow through towards the target.
- Think: deciding when, where and why to pass and move will result in scoring opportunities.
- Feel: integrity enables us to work as hard as we possibly can and keep trying even if we aren't successful.
- Connect: working effectively as a team to keep possession and create scoring opportunities requires cooperation.
